Royal Faction of Sikkim

The Royal Faction of Sikkim was the ruling faction of the Kingdom of Sikkim from 1642 until its 1975 annexation by India. The Royal Faction supported the ruling monarchy, advocating for a state-run economy, the preservation of the Hindu faith in the country, opposition to immigration, and support for a strong military. Most Sikkimese people were conservative due to the lack of democracy in the country and a strong opposition to the Kingdom of Nepal, and the party held immense support until the fall of the monarchy.
